Which team will Hirschi move to in the middle of 2022 then

 

[Salvarani]

Great ride and truly deserved this

First win his pro-career

 

[Mayomaniac]

Most deserving stage winner of the whole race until now!

 

[RedheadDane]

Chapeau!

Fun fact: Hirschi is the first stage winner at this year's Tour who'd never won a GT stage before.

[SKSemtex]

GVA really wanted to steal some points from Sagan.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Big thumbs up for the young man, what a freaking rider! He could end up being the Cancellara of the Ardennes - lose his wheel and you're done.

 

[Andy262]

Thoroughly deserved win. Chapeau Hirschi and Sunweb

 

[ppanther92]

Didn't have Bora any helpers in the group? Because Sagan was there.

 

[fuiers]

What a win. Well done.

 

[Leinster]

Exactly. Sagan doesn't need to make up 2 minutes on Hirschi for 50 points, he needs 1 minute on Herrada, Alaphilippe, Benoot, Soler and Roche etc for 30 points.

But Bora aren't riding, so Sagan clearly isn't in that group.

Oh. He was there after all, but clearly Bora didn't have numbers left after keeping the break on a leash all day.

 

[Gigs_98]

Chapeau Marc, the guy is quickly developing into one of my favorites. It's not just that he achieves great results, it's the way he has achieved them that are truly incredible.

 

[SKSemtex]

Borafail.

 

[ppanther92]

Oh. He was there after all, but clearly Bora didn't have numbers left after keeping the break on a leash all day.

I just wondered too. I guess no Mühlberger is hurting them on stages like that.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Didn't have Bora any helpers in the group? Because Sagan was there.

They’d burnt most of the helpers by riding fairly hard in the first half of the stage.

 

[Velolover2]

Sagan won the sprint for 13th.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Well deserved win by Hirschi, and definitely poetic justice after the other day.

Sunweb pretty much dominated the finale, great teamwork.

 

[titan31]

Probably have Buchmann and then Schachmann up the road

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lol, Hischi has a Dutch accent when speaking English, that's rather unexpected.

 

[huangho]

I hope we'll get 5 pages of congratulations to Hirschi, gotta love this guy!! The most deserved winner in the tour so far!!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Borafail.

can’t really blame the team. Oss and Poestlberger kept a strong break on a leash on all day. Schachmann was among the strongest. Sagan just didn’t have it.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Wasn't there an unanimous consensus here that Sunweb's Tour team was crap?

 

[Pricey_sky]

Sagan won the sprint for 13th.

How many points does he claw back?

 

[Valv.Piti]

This guy really is better than I expected. Still dont see him as a GC-contender long term, but the guy can win so many freaking races and he has the perfect profile for a Liege-winner and can probably win many 1 week stage races as well. But he should be very competitive in race like Strade, Amstel, Liege, E-3, San Sebastian, Canada, probably Lombardia and Flanders as well?

 

[Keram]

Sagan won the sprint for 13th.

Good performance. Too hard climb for him to follow attackers. He was lucky he came back to peloton. Finally on form
